4:1	And while thei spaken to the puple, the preestis and magistratis of the temple, and the Saduceis camen vpon hem, and soreweden,
4:2	that thei tauyten the puple, and telden in Jhesu the ayenrisyng fro deth.
4:3	And thei leiden hondis on hem, and puttiden hem in to warde in to the morewe; for it was thanne euentid.
4:4	But manye of hem that hadden herd the word, bileueden; and the noumbre of men was maad fyue thousyndis.
4:5	And amorewe it was don, that the princis of hem, and eldre men and scribis weren gadirid in Jerusalem;
4:6	and Annas, prince of preestis, and Caifas, and Joon, and Alisaundre, and hou manye euere weren of the kynde of preestis.
4:7	And thei settiden hem in the myddil, and axiden, In what vertue, ether in what name, han ye don this thing?
4:8	Thanne Petre was fillid with the Hooli Goost, and seide to hem, Ye pryncis of the puple, and ye eldre men, here ye.
4:9	If we to dai be demyd in the good dede of a sijk man, in whom this man is maad saaf,
4:10	be it knowun to you alle, and to al the puple of Israel, that in the name of Jhesu Crist of Nazareth, whom ye crucifieden, whom God reiside fro deth, in this this man stondith hool bifor you.
4:11	This is the stoon, which was repreued of you bildinge, which is maad in to the heed of the corner;
4:12	and heelthe is not in ony othir. For nether other name vndur heuene is youun to men, in which it bihoueth vs to be maad saaf.
4:13	And thei siyen the stidfastnesse of Petre and of Joon, for it was foundun that thei weren men vnlettrid, and lewid men, and thei wondriden, and knewen hem that thei weren with Jhesu.
4:14	And thei siyen the man that was helid, stondinge with hem, and thei myyten no thing ayenseie.
4:15	But thei comaundiden hem to go forth with out the counsel. And thei spaken togidere,
4:16	and seiden, What schulen we do to these men? for the signe is maad knowun bi hem to alle men, that dwellen at Jerusalem; it is opyn, and we moun not denye.
4:17	But that it be no more pupplischid in to the puple, manasse we to hem, that thei speke no more in this name to ony men.
4:18	And thei clepiden hem, and denounsiden to hem, that on no maner thei schulden speke, nether teche, in the name of Jhesu.
4:19	But Petre and Joon answeriden, and seiden to hem, If it be riytful in the siyt of God to here you rather than God, deme ye.
4:20	For we moten nedis speke tho thingis, that we han sayn and herd.
4:21	And thei manassiden, and leften hem, and foundun not hou thei schulden punische hem, for the puple; for alle men clarifieden that thing that was don in that that was bifalle.
4:22	For the man was more than of fourty yeer, in which this signe of heelthe was maad.
4:23	And whanne thei weren delyuerid, thei camen to her felowis, and telden to hem, hou grete thingis the princis of preestis and the eldre men hadden seid to hem.
4:24	And whanne thei herden, with oon herte thei reiseden vois to the Lord, and seiden, Lord, thou that madist heuene and erthe, see, and alle thingis that ben in hem, which seidist bi the Hooli Goost,
4:25	bi the mouth of oure fadir Dauid, thi child, Whi hethen men gnastiden with teeth togidre, and the puplis thouyten veyn thingis?
4:26	Kyngis of the erthe stoden nyy, and princis camen togidre `in to oon, ayens the Lord, and ayens his Crist.
4:27	For verili Eroude and Pounce Pilat, with hethene men, and puplis of Israel, camen togidre in this citee ayens thin hooli child Jhesu,
4:28	whom thou anoyntidist, to do the thingis, that thin hoond and thi counsel demyden to be don.
4:29	And now, Lord, biholde in to the thretnyngis of hem, and graunte to thi seruauntis to speke thi word with al trist,
4:30	in that thing that thou holde forth thin hond, that heelthis and signes and wondris be maad bi the name of thin hooli sone Jhesu.
4:31	And whanne thei hadden preyed, the place was moued, in which thei weren gaderid; and alle weren fillid with the Hooli Goost, and spaken the word of God with trist.
4:32	And of al the multitude of men bileuynge was oon herte and oon wille; nether ony man seide ony thingis of tho thingis that he weldide to be his owne, but alle thingis weren comyn to hem.
4:33	And with greet vertu the apostlis yeldiden witnessyng of the ayenrysyng of Jhesu Crist oure Lord, and greet grace was in alle hem.
4:34	For nether ony nedi man was among hem, for how manye euere weren possessouris of feeldis, ether of housis, thei seelden, and brouyten the pricis of tho thingis that thei seelden,
4:35	and leiden bifor the feet of the apostlis. And it was departid to ech, as it was nede to ech.
4:36	Forsothe Joseph, that was named Barsabas of apostlis, that is to seie, the sone of coumfort, of the lynage of Leuy,
4:37	a man of Cipre, whanne he hadde a feeld, seelde it, and brouyte the prijs, and leide it bifor the feet of apostlis.


4:1	And as they spake vnto the people, the Priestes and the Captaine of the Temple, and the Sadduces came vpon them,
4:2	Taking it grieuously that they taught the people, and preached in Iesus Name the resurrection from the dead.
4:3	And they layde handes on them, and put them in holde, vntill the next day: for it was now euentide.
4:4	Howbeit, many of them which heard the word, beleeued, and the number of the men was about fiue thousand.
4:5	And it came to passe on the morow, that their rulers, and Elders, and Scribes, were gathered together at Hierusalem,
4:6	And Annas the chiefe Priest, and Caiaphas, and Iohn, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the hie Priestes.
4:7	And whe they had set them before them, they asked, By what power, or in what Name haue ye done this?
4:8	Then Peter ful of the holy Ghost, said vnto them, Ye rulers of the people, and Elders of Israel,
4:9	For as much as we this day are examined of the good deede done to the impotent man, to wit, by what meanes he is made whole,
4:10	Be it knowen vnto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye haue crucified, whome God raised againe from the dead, euen by him doth this man stand here before you, whole.
4:11	This is the stone cast aside of you builders which is become the head of the corner.
4:12	Neither is there saluation in any other: for among men there is giuen none other Name vnder heauen, whereby we must be saued.
4:13	Now when they sawe the boldnes of Peter and Iohn, and vnderstoode that they were vnlearned men and without knowledge, they marueiled, and knew them, that they had bin with Iesus:
4:14	And beholding also the man which was healed standing with them, they had nothing to say against it.
4:15	Then they commanded them to goe aside out of the Council, and conferred among themselues,
4:16	Saying, What shall we doe to these men? for surely a manifest signe is done by them, and it is openly knowen to all them that dwell in Hierusalem: and we cannot denie it.
4:17	But that it be noysed no farther among the people, let vs threaten and charge them, that they speake hencefoorth to no man in this Name.
4:18	So they called them, and commanded them, that in no wise they should speake or teach in the Name of Iesus.
4:19	But Peter and Iohn answered vnto them, and said, Whether it be right in the sight of God, to obey you rather then God, iudge ye.
4:20	For we cannot but speake the things which we haue seene and heard.
4:21	So they threatened them, and let them goe, and found nothing how to punish them, because of the people: for all men praised God for that which was done.
4:22	For the man was aboue fourtie yeeres olde, on whome this miracle of healing was shewed.
4:23	Then assoone as they were let goe, they came to their fellowes, and shewed all that the hie Priestes and Elders had said vnto them.
4:24	And when they heard it, they lift vp their voyces to God with one accord, and said, O Lord, thou art the God which hast made the heaue, and the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them,
4:25	Which by the mouth of thy seruant Dauid hast saide, Why did the Gentiles rage, and the people imagine vaine things?
4:26	The Kings of the earth assembled, and the rulers came together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
4:27	For doutlesse, against thine holy Sonne Iesus, whome thou haddest anoynted, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel gathered themselues together,
4:28	To doe whatsoeuer thine hand, and thy counsell had determined before to be done.
4:29	And nowe, O Lord, beholde their threatnings, and graunt vnto thy seruants with all boldnesse to speake thy word,
4:30	So that thou stretch forth thine hand, that healing, and signes, and wonders may be done by the Name of thine holy Sonne Iesus.
4:31	And when as they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together, and they were all filled with the holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God boldely.
4:32	And the multitude of them that beleeued, were of one heart, and of one soule: neither any of them said, that any thing of that which he possessed, was his owne, but they had all thinges common.
4:33	And with great power gaue the Apostles witnes of the resurrection of the Lord Iesus: and great grace was vpon them all.
4:34	Neither was there any among them, that lacked: for as many as were possessours of landes or houses, solde them, and brought the price of the things that were solde,
4:35	And layde it downe at the Apostles feete, and it was distributed vnto euery man, according as he had neede.
4:36	Also Ioses which was called of the Apostles, Barnabas (that is by interpretation the sonne of consolation) being a Leuite, and of the countrey of Cyprus,
4:37	Where as he had land, solde it, and brought the money, and laid it downe at the Apostles feete.


4:1	Now as they spoke to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them,
4:2	being greatly disturbed that they taught the people and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
4:3	And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, because it was already evening.
4:4	However, many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
4:5	And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers, elders, and scribes,
4:6	and Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
4:7	And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, "By what authority or by what name have you done this?"
4:8	Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "You rulers of the people and elders of Israel:
4:9	If we this day are examined for the good deed done to the helpless man, by what means he has been made well,
4:10	let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, that by Him this man stands here before you whole.
4:11	This is the 'stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.'
4:12	Nor is there salvation in any other, because, there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
4:13	Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they recognized them, that they had been with Jesus.
4:14	And looking at the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
4:15	But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
4:16	saying, "What shall we do to these men? Because, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done by them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
4:17	But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no one in this name."
4:18	So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
4:19	But Peter and John replied and said to them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge.
4:20	Because we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard."
4:21	So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way of punishing them, because of the people, since they all glorified God for what had been done.
4:22	Because, the man was over forty years old on whom this miracle of healing had been performed.
4:23	And being let go, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
4:24	So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: "Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and everything that is in them,
4:25	who by the mouth of Your servant David have said: 'Why did the nations rage, and the people plot vain things?
4:26	The kings of the earth took their stand, and the rulers were gathered together against the LORD and against His Christ.'
4:27	"Because, truly against Your holy Child Jesus, whom You have anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together
4:28	to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined beforehand to be done.
4:29	And now Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word,
4:30	by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of Your holy Child Jesus."
4:31	And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
4:32	Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
4:33	And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.
4:34	Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; because, all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,
4:35	and laid them down at the apostles' feet. And distribution was made to everyone as they had need.
4:36	And Joses, who was surnamed Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated The Son of Encouragement), a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,
4:37	having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet.
